  • Hunstanton Neighbourhood Development Plan – Draft Version 4.2
    Hunstanton Neighbourhood Development Plan – draft version 4.2 Introduction 1. Hunstanton’s Neighbourhood Development Plan (HNDP) has been modelled on a number of other parish neighbourhood plans with the intention of avoiding the re-invention of the wheel but at the same time relating the plan to the uniqueness of the town. The other plans include those of Brancaster, South Wootton, West Winch & North Runcton in West Norfolk; Langham and Uppingham in Rutland; St Ives in Cornwall; Exminster and Newton Abbot in Devon and East Preston in West Sussex Background – The Localism Act 2. In November 2011, the Localism Act was introduced with the aim of devolving more decision making powers from central government and providing: New freedoms and flexibilities for local government; New rights and powers for communities and individuals; Reform to make the planning system more democratic and more effective; Reform to ensure that decisions about housing and infrastructure are taken locally. 3. Through the development of a Neighbourhood Plan (NP), a community will now be able to propose the direction and degree of its own future development. 4. The Localism Act of 2011 introduced Neighbourhood Planning into the hierarchy of spatial planning in England. Once a Neighbourhood Plan has been accepted, it becomes a legal document and then sits alongside the Core Strategy (CS) and the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Document (SADMP) and the County Minerals and Waste Plans. It informs all future planning decisions that the local planning authority makes about that particular community. 5. The HNDP describes a vision for the future of the town, which has been established through engagement with local residents and extensive consultation throughout the area.
